I'm using Advice UPS, and it works like a charm (poweroff the computer after reaching below certain % of power, etc.). search for a solution called Network UPS Tools (NUT), and compare the models supported by it, with the models you can purchase. I know that regarding Advice's UPSs, they are supported (not sure about the new models) even only one model is specified in NUT. If you're using RH, you could find / setup the config file in /etc/sysconfig/ups, but it's an old and limited version of NUT anyhow, so better play a little with the new version...
